a nnmom'onro, A .CORPORATIGN or nnnnwz-inn WATER rung Application fil ed January ai, 1927, Serial N70, 16431 if This invention relates to improvementsin' mounting devices and, particularly to such bly including a waterpump and its driving member, and'a supply tank with which the water pump is connected. I,

Another object is to provide va support upon which the above mentioned assembled device may easily be mounted,eve'n though variations exist in the length of the connect ing pipes. I i f p Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, wherein a preferred embodiment of one' form' oftheli' r I j 5011 the baserby. the clamping'bolts 22, which also hold the present invention is clearly shown. In the drawlngz Fig. 1 is a view in elevation'lookinginto the open end of the horseshoe shaped base;

Fig- 218 a tionvtaken along the line 2-2 Of Fig". 1; and i I 3 is a section takenalong line 33 of Fig. 1.

. Referring to the drawing, the numeral 2O' v designates a platform provided with feet 2-1 apertured to receive. the clampingbolts22 provided with clamping'nuts 23."

Upon the platform 20 'are'supported the; pump 24, the operating member 25 and the driving motor 26. ,A belt 27 drivinglycon nects the motor with the 'fiywhe'ehof; the

operating member 125. The pump'fisicon nected with .a cylindrical storage tank 28 by means of a. pipe, including the horizontal portion 29 and the vertical. portion 30, the former being connected with theftank, the latter with thep'ump outletport The pipe," including portions 29 and 30 rigidly, oper connects the pump withlthe storage tively tank.

A horseshoe' shaped base "has acurv'ed portion, of a contour similar to the contour of thecylindricall'y shaped tank 28. The

base comprises L-shaped walls, thehorh (or any otherdesiredsupport. a v

In-the foregoingitzmay. belseen that ap' zontal; wall having the tank and the feet of" the platform slid'ably' supported'thereon when said elements are first placed on the 7 base]: After being placed on the base, the

assembled platform, and tank are I moved toward the closed end .of said base untilthe tank 28 engages the curved portionof the I vertical wall 36 of the base. I

An elongated, horizontally disposed slot 37' is provided in the vertical wall of the base adjaCenteaCh end thereof. A clamp= ing bolt 22 is inserted through each elon gated slot and the non-aligned aperture ofthe foot 21 respectively, and tightening ofv the associated nuts 23, will rig-idly clamp thefeet of the platform in position on the I base. The tank'28being rigidly connected to the pump 24, supported on said platform,

{will therefore beheldrigidly in, engagement I with the curved portion of the Vertical wall 86, thus the tank is maintained in position 7 tion 29' arefcom'pensated for; by the 'pro- :vlsion of the elongatednhorizontally disposed slots .37 v r I Apertures lOiin the tions of" the'base are adapted to receive horizontal wall poi means for fastening saidv base tothe floor plicant'has provided a base'offsiinple conq struction for a pumpingapparatus and its,

associated supply tank, said apparatusi'as flwell as the tankfbeing rigidly secured to V thebase byclamping bolts secured to the r platform feet only. I

" While the form of embodiment of presa preferred for1 n, it',is"to be understood that other forms might be adopted,all coming-v ,7

jW'hat is claimedis as follows:

cut invention as here1n'd1sclosed, constltutes horizontal portion disposed adjacent the bottom of the tank, a base including a generally U-shaped member having an L-shaped cross section, one flange of which is vertically disposed and the other flange of which is horizontally disposed within the U, the bight of the U conformingtothe contour of the tank, the tank resting on the horizontal flange and against the vertical flange within the'bight, 1 0 and adjustable means for clamping the pumping device to the vertical flange of the base to hold the entire apparatus in assembled relation through the thrust of the horizontal portion of said conduit transmitted through 15 the tank against the vertical flangeof said base.
